Side effects of the medication

Question

Asked for Female, 19 Years

Tretinoin is making my skin dry and dark. My skin has started to peel off and it's making it dark. What should I do? (Back and arms for ingrown hair and acne i guess) I have been using lumivoid for more than a month but my dark spots are still the same, not even a slightest difference it's literally not working. What do I do?

Tretinoin can cause dryness and can lead to peeling of the skin if kept for a long duration or applied in the mornings. There is medication to revert bit it depends on the skin type and the intensity of pigmentation. Corroborate with pictures and consult a Dermatologist for the same.
